As I understand it, manufacturers chose palladium solely because it was so much cheaper than platinum. Through the 1970s and 1980s, palladium was...
Looks more like one of them AU62's in that shot...
They don't bug me as much as some other designs, but, yeah, give me Liberty. On the other hand, they are reliable for still bearing full silver...
At the moment, a roll or bag of average circulated Franklins is cheaper there than a roll or bag of 1964 halves; Walkers are more expensive than...
And the auction houses, and the dealers, and everyone else who wants a piece of each transaction. I understand that you understand the math. I...
Sellers with their head in the sand pop up from time to time. Either they become aware of their mistake, or their stuff sells really, really...
Also, didn't want to top out the thread right away, but I'm pretty sure nobody is going to beat this @bqcoins classic: From eBay Back from NGC...
I see the photo with the number, and they also included it in the auction details -- 7740620101. A shame there aren't photos on the cert...
The funny part is, there are some things that I accept because I've seen them with Doug's own eyes.

No, paying Uncle Sugar his 28% of your $950 capital gains; what you pay to the auction house counts toward your cost of goods. So does your cost...
I don't think I've ever come across a half dime being sold as junk silver. I'll take just about any half dime for 75 cents...
Only informally, but that's one of the issues I always bring up when someone says "buy the key coins first before they go up in price". Sure,...
No, and that (allowing inflation adjustment when calculating capital gains) is something people have been lobbying for since at least the first...
Wait, what? FOUR HUNDRED WATTS of X-RAYS? I'd expect the acetone to evaporate in more like 18 seconds. Followed after a short time by the copper....
Picture is over-compressed, so it's hard to tell what I'm seeing at all, but it looks like environmental damage. Something got stuck on the coin,...
They would probably say we're the ones who are mentally defective, letting other people's rules control us.
I have low confidence judging $3 gold, but I have complete confidence that that coin isn't gradable. Problem coins bring much lower prices than...
It may well go higher in the last few seconds as snipes come in. Most collectors are probably reluctant to buy a $3 raw from blurry photos. Even...
